Another thread got me thinking about my first concert.... It was Ozzy Osbourne at the Salt Palace, the Bark at the Moon tour. Motley Crew opened and stole the show, I remember them(Motley Crew) blowing my 13 year old mind.

My friends and I were just dropped off at the front and we walked to a pay phone(remember those) and called for a ride home after the show.

Also bought my first concert T at that show, wore the chit out of that....

Beach boys at the fair grounds with my parents. I think I was 7.
First real concert without parents was Agent Orange. I was 14, and I lost a shoe in the pit. Have probably been to over 500 shows since that day. Still one of my favorite places to be.

best concert i've ever been to Dave Matthews Band on a beach on the 2nd annual bud light party cruise. buddy was so drunk he ended up getting back on the bands charter than the cruise ship charter. So he got to ride around with the band for a while.

Motley Crue Girls Girls Girls tour. I was still screaming hours after the show because I was so amped up. My next one was Poison with Warrant. Brett Michaels says that he feels really far away from everyone and that we should all come closer. I rush the stage with everyone else and finish the show in almost the front row during the encore. People were getting trampled around me. There was a security guy that was at least a foot taller than everyone else in the crowd. He was throwing people out of his way like they were rag dolls so he could get to a girl that had been hit by a chair that someone had ripped off the floor and thrown across the crowd.

First concert was Alice in Chains. It was a great concert and what topped it off was that I had gotten my drivers license the day before so we didn't need a parental taxi cab. Needless to say, the 86 accord looked like a lower rider with hands and feet hanging out the windows.

The first concert I went to was a free performance that New Found Glory played at Marine World (now Six Flags Discovery Kingdom) back in 2000. I had no idea who they were at the time, but since then they have been one of my favorite bands and Ive seen them 6 or 7 times.

Garth Brooks in Sacramento, I was 8 and hated country at the time. Threw the biggest fit with my parents, yelled, complained, you name it. Got to the concert and still the best concert I've ever been to in my life. Not my favorite music but that guy can put on a show! I even got hit with a plastic beer cup in the back of the head and didn't care, the Thunder Rolls was playing and the arena was lit up with lightening (fake of course), it was awesome. Worst part was admitting to my parents I had a good time after haha.

My parents wouldn't let me go to concerts until I was 18, but because I was in 4-H and showing my pig at Ventura County Fairgrounds, I was able to see Kansas and Eddie Money in 1983 (I was 15). My first "legit" concert after turning 18 was Van Halen on their first tour with Sammy Hagar. I was bummed because I really wanted to see them with DLR, but they had broken up while I was waiting to turn 18!

Smokie Robinson and the Miricles, plus Frieda Payne, Band of Gold at The Greek. Early 70's
I saw the Wall in L.A, the night the stage caught fire but it was about 1980 not 77. I dont remember seeing Moose there
I saw LedZep in 77

Garth Brooks in Sacramento, I was 8 and hated country at the time. Threw the biggest fit with my parents, yelled, complained, you name it.

This exactly. 100% everything the same - except I saw him in Fargo, ND. Must have been around 1990 or so.

IT mite of been 78 @ L.A. sports arena ticket was $25 back then ,concert cost about $8 for some one Good
Still the best Concert i've EVER seen,,, And I use to make Da KROQ Surfboards and I've Seen a Lot of Concerts,,2 -3 a week for a 4 year run
I've seen and meet Soooo many Rock Stars

My dad knew it was my favorite band at the time, so he took me to see Duran Duran on the Seven and the Ragged Tiger tour in 1984 in Sacramento at CalExpo. I must have been 9. In H.S. he took me to my next favorite band, Anthrax on the Sound of White Noise tour. The opening band I thought was really good. They said their first album released in a few months and no one at school had heard of them. It was White Zombie.

Kiss at the Paramount in Seattle in 1976, I was in the 9th grade and rode the bus. Ticket cost $6.25 Ive also seenj Black Sabbath with Ozzy as the lead singer and AC/DC with Bon Scott as the singer! Wow, I am a old fart!!

last concert : Red Hot chili peppers in Philly for their latest tour ( it sucked balls in an inside seated area)

Best show ever: (general admission) Chili peppers when they toured with foo fighters at Hershey stadium for Californication . "cause im down with the state of pennsylvania" and the it went effing insane. Best show ever. Even though the foo fighters were wasted and played 3 terrible songs.

Best band that worked the crowd: POD

Best stage show: Alice Cooper

Best Jam out band: Moe

Gotta have some variety

Biggest disapointment: Sleeping through and missing Primus and The Dead at bonnaroo. Primus played for like 6 hours into the early morning and we passed out eehhh

U2 acting baby tour either junior or sophomore year. Seen a bunch of these bands. 311 was one if my favorites, Kravitz was good, beastie boys. Saw pearl jam, widespread and Fleetwood Mac all in one day at Summerfest. Headed to NIN and Soundgarden this summer

My first without parents; Beastie Boys opened for Run DMC. 1987. JMJ dropped out of the ceiling of the Lawlor Events Center on his DJ stand. I was 14.

Last show; People Under The Stairs, Highlighter tour. Saw them at this dinky little club called The Alley in Sparks, NV. This was the night after they played a sold out show in LA at the House of Blues. I showed up early and got a chance to bs with them. They looked a bit wiped out from the night before and had borrowed a turn table set up from a local. I honestly wasn't expecting them to knock it out of the park but, that's exactly what they did. 200 people in some Nevada hick town got treated to the best damn hip hop show that town had ever seen. Un-be-f'ing-leavable! Slam dunk, home run, hat trick. The new album, "12 Step Program" is set to drop May 6th. This will be the duos 9th complete album (12th if you count the other releases). "Hardest MF'n workin group in show biz!"

First concert - Our local radio station (z100) 13th birthday bash. It was a compilation show on Easter Sunday of all days. It had Sheryl Crow and Jewel. I remember that the opening act, Better than Ezra was a no show. It wasn't bad and I saw Jewel one more time since then and Sheryl Crow two more times. Actually all of those in the same year.
